Among those European stars Sean Marks scouted last month was 6’9” Nicolo Melli, a 26-year-old stretch 4 with rebounding skills. Melli, a native of Italy, plays for Brose Bamberg in the German league. Now, there are new reports that the Nets are among a small group of teams with more serious interest.
In the last few days, European hoops writers Pero Guerrini, Orazio Cauchi and Niki Bakouli have all linked Melli to the Nets.
Cauchi, who reports for Sportando and Def Pen Hoops, wrote last week...
Melli will be a free agent this summer and will definitely explore the possibility of going to the NBA.
